Cold Creek Homestead is nestled on the border of Northumberland and Hastings counties near the rural village of Wooler. The homestead was founded in 2021 and the transformation is underway. We produce eggs, honey, and are trying our hand at maple syrup. The orchard and vegetable gardens are maturing and you never know what produce, preserves, or spreads are available! We're always trying something new. The 35 acre property backs on to Cold Creek which can be accessed by a 1.5 km walking trail. Within 30 minutes are several lovely Ontario towns including Brighton, Warkworth, Cobourg, Campbellford, Frankford, and Trenton. The Waterfront Trail and Prince Edward County are at the doorstep. Plenty of provincial parks and conservation areas offer excellent beaches, hiking, swimming, cycling and birdwatching. There are dozens of craft breweries and wineries, farmer's markets and one of Ontario's best waterfront patios, all nearby. Many of the local farms are open to the public for apple and berry picking, and several offer an opportunity to meet their animals. Come experience our sustainable, country lifestyle!
